Italian Wedding Soup: Just like Wawa

When we lived in NJ, one of things my husband loved was Italian Wedding Soup from Wawa. We had it at many diners and fine restaurants all over the northeast, but he would always say he preferred the Wawa soup. Today was cold and rainy and soup sounded like just the thing. My husband said he missed Italian Wedding soup, so I thought I would give it a try. I already had a great recipe for meatballs, made and frozen. I had a gallon bag of homemade turkey stock and a bag spinach in the freezer and a box of orzo in the pantry. I was thrilled when Hubby said it was just like Wawa's. With the meatballs made ahead and waiting in the freezer, it was a meal that was ready in less than 20 minutes.

Here you will find a mix of the down home dishes I grew up on and things I learned from different regions where we lived and traveled, plus all the new things I can't wait to give a try.
